TLDR:
There is another bug where a threadripper system would not be able to passthrough a Nvidia GPU or an RX 580 (basically any GPU that does not have the reset bug). For some reason, Vega works fine (besides the usual reset bug).
Glad to know the patch also works on threadripper, but unfortunately my gigabyte designare ex X399 mb died last weekend and now I need to wait for few days for the fix.
I think AMD doesnât do a good job on the open source supporting which they should as the Ryzen family shows a lot of potential for high end use comparing just gaming
Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I have a small question on KVM and passthrough. I have a Ryzen 5, and a single GPU. WIll I be able to set up a windows VM for gaming, or would I need a second GPU to run the host? When I want to game on linux, would I use the host, or set up an additional linux VM, and pass the GPU through to it?
You can use the same GPU but that will leave your Linux machine headless, the only way to use the host Linux machine would be via ssh or some other remote control tool.
Itâs best to install a 2nd video card for Linux (I used an older card from my last upgrade) and pass through your high end card to linux for gaming or whatever.
Does anyone have any inkling as to if/when this patch might become part of the mainline kernel? I was just reading the list of changes in 4.15 and got momentarily excited when I saw âchanges to Xen and KVMâ, but itâs nothing to do with NPT. The Ryzen temperature monitoring fix for k10temp has been added though, which makes me very happy. Lack of working lm_sensors has been annoying.
Is there an easy way to upgrade Fedora? I booted in to linux for the first time in months. I upgraded to 27 but it doesnât seem to be running 4.14 (I think the patch is included in 4.14). Standard Linux, the guides are always built for a distro you arenât running
rm -rf ~/rpmbuild/{SOURCES,BUILD,BUILROOT}/*
Should do. I should probably put it at the end of the guide.
You can also do rm -rf ~/rpmbuild/*RPMS/*
To get rid of the built RPMs and the source RPMs if you are SURE you donât need them.
I have started a GoFundMe campaign to try to raise the funding required to purchase a TR system that can be used to dig into the PCI power state issues. If people are interested in contributing to this please see below:
